The most depressing Thanksgiving for me so far was last year. Not because of food or anything but I had to meet my sister’s new boyfriend.…
For my ethnographic study I chose to examine the life at Moe’s restaurant located one block from my home and where I used to work. The main focus of my study is to compare the norms of the employees when the manager is there and when he is gone. As defined in Sociology: A Brief Introduction, by John J Macionis, a norm is “an established standard of behavior maintained by a society”. How does the employees’ behavior change when the manager is there watching them compared to when she leaves someone else in charge while she is gone. Although the norms of the employees are the main focus of this paper, so are hierarchy and gender roles also play huge roles at Moe’s.…
I am a coupon person. I love coupon via mobile and with limited information. I just brought a piece of furniture that normally cost $3800 and I got this furniture for $1200 from JCPenny’s. I don’t really look for coupons unless I am going to that store. I must admit that I love on particular fast food chain named, Chick-Fil-A. I actually look for those coupons. I have received free minis, and other free things from Chick-Fil-A. At the same time, I carry Michael Kors products, which represent a particular status. I have a $400 dollar purse that I only paid $100. I even have a Michael Kors cell case, but no-one can tell it is a Michal Kors, but it make me feel a certain way. So, I am not sure what type of consumer behavior that I demonstrate.…

Life. It's a journey full of ups and downs. Some days will be good, some days bad. Some days will be of no use, and others you will find something good out of. The days that I have visited Gleaners Food Bank are days I have felt I've gotten something good out of. It's a symbol of hope for so many needy people, and being a part of that makes me feel like I've brought someone one step closer to a better life. Going to Gleaners every year has made a profound impact on me, and helps me strive to help others in need.…
Working at the Hooters of the Orland International Airport has been the best decision of my life to be a Hooters Girl! To begin with, when I moved to Orlando from southwest Florida I met one of good friends who worked at Hooters and she would always tell me stories and how much fun she had, all while making a living.

Next, working at Hooters I have met the most amazing coworkers and regulars that have made a difference in my life. Walking into Hooters my coworkers have a positive, fun and outgoing personality throughout their shifts, and which I have made longtime friendship along the way. It such…
The little exhausted 6 year old girl, running through crowds of people and in circles looking for her mom or just familiar faces. From riding the Mine Digger roller coaster, slipping away from my cousin for a quick snack, eventuality became separate from the group, then found by Daffy Duck and rescue by my cousin. I knew this was going to be my last trip to Six Flags. Before leaving Texas, my mom had request a trip to California to visit my great aunts and SeaWorld next…
I will never say that I regret going to Waffle House; I do not. It was one of the best times that I have ever had. My friends are so goofy and wild that anytime with them is never boring. I also connected with Leo, which was amazing. We laughed, cried, and talked about everything and nothing. It turned out that we had a lot of things in common; we liked the same music, books, and even paintings. Also, I found out that he was very open-minded and kind; two qualities that are very important to me. The whole night with my friends and him felt movie-like and I will never forget it. I think that it was a good experience to…

Chick-Fil-A, East Wichita; Today is my childs birthday. Where did he want to go for his birthday lunch? His choice was Chick-Fil-A. We ate lunch at your establishment, and after that, my child went to play in the playground. A child younger than mine was also playing in the playground, running around with a leather belt! That was Okay with the adults the child was with, whom were sitting right outside the playground, at the table next to the playground door. They let him keep running around around with the leather belt, and swinging it around, while he was playing. Unprovoked by my child at all, the younger child with the leather belt, ends up Hitting my son on the Head, With the leather belt, Five times! It happened up in the tunnels, out of my sight, but I could hear my child yelling to the other…
I wake up in the morning feeling great. My cheese is perfect and I eat a healthy breakfast containing a piece of bread and a slice of my newly made fresh lamb cheese. I pack my rv, feed my pet, fill-up with gas and head out on the open road. My vehicle’s engine is purring almost like a kitten and I’m pleased to read a highway sign that sets the speed limit to 80 mph for the next 290 miles. I plan that I can get to the end of texas and be on my way in New Mexico in 10 h 48 min (733.9 mi). About halfway through my journey I decide to stop for lunch. According to a street sign i'm on S broadway St, tx and I find a lovely restaurant called George’s where I buy a gyro sandwich for $5…
I lived in Hollywood, FL for nine years to long. It was circumstantial how I wound up there. It was not a pleasant experience. I went to Florida niave. I thought that the blacks from different parts of the world got along. I was in for a rude awakening. My family goes back to be an American every since colonization. I felt like an outsider in America an I’m a veteran. I experienced prejudice and stereo typing from both the men an the women. I t would pain me to see how other black Americans were treated. Most of the black americans families migrated from Mississippi, Alabama and the Carolins. The majority of the Islanders lived in their own commities like Mirramor, Little Hatti and…
As a child, if someone told me that my first job would be in the food service, I would accuse them of lying. If they told me I would absolutely love it? Impossible, I’d say. It will never happen. Yet here I am, seven months into my first job at a bagel shop. I now work a job I never thought I would have, and it changed me in ways I never thought possible.…
